# Padre::Document::Perl::Starter(3pm)

Starter module for Perl 5 documents

## NAME

Padre::Document::Perl::Starter - Starter module for Perl 5 documents

## DESCRIPTION

**Padre::Document::Perl::Starter** provides support for generating Perl 5 documents and projects of various types.

## METHODS

### new

```
  my $starter = Padre::Document::Perl::Starter->new($main);
```

The `"new"` constructor creates a new code generator, taking the main window object as a parameter.

### style

The `"style"` accessor returns the default code style for modules as a Padre::Document::Perl::Starter::Style object. Any style values provided to a specific create method will override these defaults.

### main

The `"main"` accessor returns the main window object.

### current

The `"current"` accessor returns a `"Padre::Current"` object for the current context.

### create\_script

```
    $starter->create_script;
```

Create a new blank Perl 5 script, applying the user's style preferences if possible.

### create\_module

```
    $starter->create_module( module => $package );
```

Create a new empty Perl 5 module, applying the user's style preferences if possible. If passed a package name, that module will be created.

If no package name is provided, the user will be asked for the name to use.

### create\_test

```
    $starter->create_test;
```

Create a new empty Perl 5 test, applying the user's style preferences if possible.

### create\_test\_compile

```
    $starter->create_text_compile;
```

Create a new empty Perl 5 test for compilation testing of all the code in your project, so that further tests can use your modules as normal without doing any load testing of their own.
